Heartstopper fans' hearts skipped a beat on Friday, when it was announced that the hugely popular show had been renewed for two more seasons.
The emotionally charged drama is without a doubt THE word of mouth TV success story of 2022, as viewers across the globe helped it become the streaming service's most watched thing on there within days of its release. Based on the visual books from Alice Oseman, Heartstopper centres on Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson, played by Joe Locke and Kit Connor, whose lives collide when they are sat together every day in their school form class. On the face of things, the two couldn't be more different, with openly gay Charlie and rugby team hero Nick having never seen their paths cross prior to be being chosen to share a desk after a class reshuffle at the start of a new year.
But, without spoiling things too much for those who haven't seen it, their relationship takes turn that neither of them was predicting, as other actors William Gao as Tao, Yasmin Finney as Elle, Rhea Norwood as Imogen and Corinna Brown as Tara, all play their parts, as well as tackling issues of their own.
